The resorts
Each card shows only what the resort publishes on its own site, with the date we checked. Where the resort's own pages disagree, or it has not announced a date, we leave the number out and link to the resort instead. Check its snow report and opening status before you drive.
Lift tickets and passes
Most resorts price day tickets by date, so the price depends on when you go and how early you buy. The ticket link on each card goes to the resort’s own page.
Before you go
- Check conditions
- Snow reports and road conditions change quickly. Check both the morning you drive.
- Opening dates move
- Resorts open when there is enough snow. A tentative date can change; the card says when it is tentative.
Winter driving
Ontario recommends four winter tires: they improve traction and control in frost, snow and ice, and can shorten braking distances by as much as 25%. Ask your insurer about a winter tire discount. Studded tires are not allowed in Southern Ontario unless you live in Northern Ontario or are visiting from out of province.
Roads to the hills change quickly in winter. Check the road report linked on each card the morning you drive.
Frequently asked questions
When is ski season in Toronto?
It depends on the resort and the snow. Some open in November and others in December, and each card shows the opening date the resort has published, marked tentative where the resort says so. Where there is no firm date, the card links to the resort.
How far away are the resorts?
Each card gives the straight-line distance from the main city. Driving distance is longer, often much longer in the mountains, so check a map for the drive time.
Do I need winter tires?
Ontario recommends four winter tires: they improve traction and control in frost, snow and ice, and can shorten braking distances by as much as 25%. Ask your insurer about a winter tire discount. Studded tires are not allowed in Southern Ontario unless you live in Northern Ontario or are visiting from out of province. Source: Government of Ontario: winter driving.
Where do the snowfall forecasts come from?
From Open-Meteo, for the resort’s coordinates, refreshed every few hours. It is a model forecast for the location, not the resort’s own snow report, which is linked on each card.
